There was a TeeVee Nooz item the other day, where the story was, "Can duct
tape cure warts?"

Well, somebody did an experiment where they took a bunch of volunteers and
half of them got duct tape on their wart and the other half got "a placebo
patch". No difference was observed between the two groups.


For future research, I propose a new set of experiments:

Optimal Duct Tape Removal Velocity for Treatment of Warts.

I'm guessing a velocity just below Mach 1 should do it...
